Privatization involves transferring ownership of state-owned enterprises to private owners. It was introduced in India in the 1980s due to failures of the socialist economic model and poor performance of public sector units. Privatization led to positive effects like development of organized and unorganized businesses and industries through greater investment, efficiency, and competitiveness. However, the public sector still plays an important role in infrastructure development.

12. Necessity of Privatization in Indian Economy :-
1. Insistence and advice to attain Economic Development

Foreign Currency Reserves were extremely Low โ
Western Countries recommend IMF to help India โ
USA indirectly and IMF directly compelled India to
adopt Privatization.

Strategies after looking at Western Economies and
USA.
3. Poor/Unsatisfactory Performance of PSU :-
โข PSU Performance remained highly unsatisfactory โ
Exceptional PSU made remarkable profits โ Overall,
Public Sector Performance remained dismal.
13. Explanations about PSU Performance :-
1. Low returns on Public Sector Investment :-
โข PSU should make at least 14% returns annually โ In reality,
returns were very low - In comparison to Private Sector, the
returns in Public sector were low โ responsible for Fiscal
Deficit โ If PSU = not Profitable, Privatize them.
2. The Share of Savings in Public Sector decreased
3. Inadequate use of Productive Capacity
4. Delay in Business Decision Making Process :-
โข Due to Bureaucracy and Red-tapism, undue delays in
Decision Making โ Performance Hindered โ No

5. Wastage of Rare Resources of Production :-
โข Production Capacity unutilized โ Utter Wastage of Rare
Resources โ Cost of Production = High โ Profitability =
Lower.
Thus, Privatization was deemed Necessary.
14. HEY GOOGLE ! Take us to the Year 2014.......
Date :- 1st January
Scenario :-
โข Government of India has accelerated the Process of Privatization in recent years.
โข Government has divested stakes in many PSU's.
โข Private Sector has expanded.
โข Licensing Systems abolished.
โข However, it is not true to say that only Private Sector has lifted up the Economic Growth
Rate.
โข The Contributions of Public Sector in construction and incorporation of Infrastructural
Facilities cannot be neglected.
โข Therefore, the current economic development has been achieved due to the
contribution of both the Public and Private Sector.

more Profitable than Public Sector.
โข Although, the contribution of Public Sector
Units in the development of Infrastructure

cannot be denied that even today in
certain areas like irrigation, electricity, road-
building, socially useful services like health,
etc. Public Sector plays a very important role.
